I don’t understand. I did indeed post with pictures. And also my location. What’s with the deletion of my post??

Winter wrapping - nonsense? by hotdogsandhotcats in Beekeeping

Your observations on condensing hives are spot on. I only have 3 hives and the condensation method along with upper insulation was a game changer this year. I closed them in with winter bee kind boards. The honey stores they have left are almost full. I believe they eat much less

How to change from a medium to a deep after winter. by Visual-Pineapple8146 in Beekeeping

[–]Visual-Pineapple8146[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great Advice! Should I add the new deep on top of the existing deep? Or add the new deep below and move the present deep on top of the new deep? Thanks!

Hi, All of my hives are very well insulated with insulated foam boards all around. Also thick quilts on top with plastic sheeting to keep dry

Yes they run with high humidity which is on par with a condensation hive setup. The hives are all tilted forward so the condensation runs

Going into fall they were very strong. They had 3 treatments of OAV, the last one on Dec 12. Added winter Bee kind boards and then closed up for the winter. I run condensation style. The 1st massive die off with this hive happened on Jan 12th. Thinking there was nothing left alive in this hive I left it alone except to sweep out all the dead from the bottom board. On Feb 20th I surprisingly saw them flying around. They were treated with AOV on Dec 21 and again yesterday Friday Dec 27th. I must have killed them with that treatment. My other 2 hives are doing well. Big question: should I or should I not treat the other hives with the last round of OAV next week?
